English at Work

Introduction

Hi I'm Neil Thanks for joining me on English at Work - a new series of programmes set

in an office, full of top tips to help you learn some useful business language which you could use in the workplace

In the next few minutes you can join me on an introductory tour around one of London's biggest imitation plastic fruit manufacturers, called Tip Top Trading We're going to hear from some of the employees that work so hard to keep the business running smoothly

So come on then! Let's step into the office and eavesdrop on Tip Top Trading's possible newest recruit I say 'possible' because she is still being interviewed for the job of Sales Executive…

several years working in sales and I get on with people easily Well, I mean, apart from the ones I don't like of course! Secondly, I know Tip Top Trading is one of the fastest-growing companies in London, and I want to

be part of that

the plastic fruits sector

Well said, Anna! If she gets that job I'm sure she'll be an asset to the company The decision is in the hands of Manager, Paul, who we heard there He's a nice guy really, a little disorganised, but when things go wrong he's got to take charge…a bit like this…

Executives – he's good…

is no exception It's got Denise, who's there to assist, organise and sometimes make the tea…

But goodness! She likes to talk…

had enough! I get treated like I'm some kind of servant!
